It's Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast, and it's Josh and Chantel. Of course, you can reach us anytime you want to. Send us an email, wakeupclassy97atgmail.com, and follow us on socials, at classy97klce. All right. What's up?

Okay, listen to this story. So there is a woman. Her name is Miss Takaya.

Miss Takaya? No, miss. Oh, I thought her name was Miss Takaya. No, no. Her name is Miss Takaya. I don't know her first name.

Okay. Got it. So she, when she was a young woman, she came home from school and she found her mother unconscious. Scary. Her and her father tried to rush her to the hospital, but it was too late. Her and her father found the meal when they got home, the meal that her mother had been preparing.

I think I heard about this story. And they couldn't bear to throw it away or eat it. So they put it in a Tupperware and then put it in the freezer.

Five years later, they got it out and they said, what do you think? It's been five years since we've eaten our mom's cooking. Like it would be amazing to eat this. So they got together with a scientist and a chef and they carefully reheated and recooked the food to certain specifications, ensuring that it wouldn't poison anyone. They didn't add or put anything in it that could compromise the taste. I love it. And they were able to safely eat the food that their mother had made five years.

Can you imagine it's been five years since you've had your mom's home cooking and then somebody is able to make that happen for you? What a moment.

And they said, this is a really nice quote. It's not just food that's love preserved. Oh. What an incredible way to taste a memory one more time.

That's so cool. Isn't that nice? Yeah. It's so very cool. Very cool. Oh, a sweet, sweet story. And I wonder if that chef is now able to go, hey, look, here's the recipe. Here's what I did. Here's exactly how you can continue to make this and make it taste just

like mom's Just like mom's home cooking. Just like mom's home cooking. Just picture them looking. They're all crying.

I can't even imagine. That's so nice. I can't even imagine. So, well, thanks for that story. You're welcome. It's so sweet. Let's start their show. Let's start the show. Today is the 25th of November, and that means we are exactly one month away from Christmas. And that got me to thinking. We've got the studio decorated. Yes. And the Christmas season is in full swing. It is. And we typically don't decorate until after Thanksgiving at home. Right. Thanksgiving over the past couple of years has been later in the month because of just the way the calendar works. Oh, right.

So, you end up with less than a month of all those decorations at your home if you wait until after Christmas for one and then for two, that's a lot of extra work just for less than a month, isn't it? Yeah. What are you saying? I'm just saying, I know you were kind of hyped up on trying to do that. We just haven't. But I got to probably get ready to pull those bins out of the storage.

I was just reading something that said it's bad Thanksgiving etiquette if you have your Christmas tree up.

It is. Is that right?

If you're hosting Thanksgiving, the experts are saying. Oh, experts. I know. You got to listen to those experts.

Okay. Well, maybe, so we've been talking about doing two of them. We've been talking about putting them, because we have two. One that I've had since before we even knew each other. And then the one that we as a family purchased together. Yeah. And we talked about putting the family tree up downstairs as we usually do. Right.

And we could do that. That one's not in the way of Thanksgiving. The one in the living room might be a little bit... Crunch. Troublesome, because it'll constrict the space. Yeah.

So it might be smart to do just the one. You know what I'm saying? I know what you're saying. You know who's really going to dislike having Christmas decorations in the living room is the dog, because the chair is going to have to move. And she's not going to be able to look out the window like she's gotten used to.

Uh-huh. You're right. Bummer for her. Sorry, dog. This is our house.

Not yours. And were you thinking of putting it in the middle of the front window, or do you want it over in the corner? I hadn't put a lot of thought into it.

I haven't either, because we got to figure out what to do with the couch. Yeah, I know. And then we got to figure out what to do with the plant.

And then... The TV's got to turn.

A lot of stuff's got to move around. It's a process. Mm-hmm. Are we sure we want to do this? I mean, yeah. It's a lot of work, isn't it? It is. I don't know. I kind of like it in the middle of the window. Okay. What's that silence?

I just have to think about where to put everything else. Okay. So I'm working on that. All right. You know, if it was in the corner, I had thought about it one way. If it's in the middle of the window, I thought about it another way. That's a difference of like four feet. Right. It's not that big of a difference to the layout of the room.

So put it in the corner of the window. What?

We'll talk about it. Okay, okay. We'll get it figured out. We'll think about it. Because the other option is to move the piano. Oh, no. Keep everything where it is. Move the piano to the other wall. Put the tree on that wall. On that wall? Yeah. No, it's not that. See? That's why you got to think about it.

Yeah, it's definitely not that. You sure? 100.

But you're sure because the way the flow works right now with the piano, it would change drastically the flow of the room. It would.

And I don't like it over there. I don't think I'll like the tree over there. I don't like it. Okay. All right. It's not that.

Okay. Well, one month until Christmas. A lot to get done. Yes, sir. Today's good news comes from the What's Your Excuses file. Okay. In Oklahoma, some incarcerated men are impacting the community by giving back. At the Joseph Harp and Lexington prisons, inmates are putting their little small salaries toward food donations. They've already helped stock three local food pantries and launched a holiday food drive that runs through Christmas, all from behind bars. That's so nice.

This is pretty awesome. At Lexington, the guys there pooled their pennies, literally their pennies, to raise $6,000, which was donated to a food pantry. One of the program leaders named Bruce Perkins said both efforts highlight the desire of the incarcerated men to help families in need during the holidays. And this speaks highly of these men thinking beyond themselves. He said they are giving to a worthy cause outside of the fence and they deserve to be recognized for something good. And I think that's really powerful.

Yeah, it is. Oh, that's so nice.

Yeah, pretty awesome. So, well done to those guys that are putting together a couple of really powerful and impactful campaigns for feeding folks this holiday season.

Yeah. Pretty cool. And they deserve a pat on the back, too.

No kidding. Yep. Way to go. That's good news. Nice news.

And now we have two Wizard of Oz horror movies in the works. All of a sudden?

Yep. Oh, weird. Isn't that funny? What is? Is that public domain now at this point? I mean, the story's pretty old. I don't know, Josh.

Why do you always ask the

questions I don't know about? Well, you go ahead and tell the story. I'll find out. One of the movies is called Gale, Yellow Brick Road. Gale? Gale, like... As in Henry Gale? Correct. Yellow Brick Road, okay.

And then the other is titled Dorothy, the Haunting of Oz.

Uh, L. Frank Baum's original book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is in the public domain. There you go. The iconic 1939 movie is not. Oh. The book entered the public domain in 1956, allowing its text and original characters to be freely used. While the MGM film is still protected by copyright. Okay.

The Gale, the Yellow Brick Road, that one's going to be in theaters in February. And in this one, Dorothy is a reclusive old lady and her granddaughter discovers the secret of Oz, which has become a terrifying playground for forces beyond her imagination.

Uh, here's something interesting to note. What? Uh, elements that were introduced in the film, including Dorothy's ruby slippers and a green-skinned witch are also copyrighted. Her shoes weren't ruby red in the book. In the book, they were not. And in Wicked, they are not. But in the Wizard of Oz MGM film, they are. Yeah. And so that is interesting because those things are copyrighted as well, including the green-skinned Wicked Witch. Interesting.

Yeah. So not anybody can just do that. That is correct.

So it'll be, that's why it's interesting that they're using Dorothy because it doesn't say specifically in this particular thing. That, uh, that Dorothy is protected. Um, so they can use that character. What about Toto? It doesn't say. Oh, Toto.

I hope they don't use Toto in the horror movies. He did nothing wrong.

Subsequent works based on the public domain book, including Wicked from Gregory Maguire, has its own copyrights. Interesting. Yeah. There are certain things that are going to be copyrighted adjacent to the Wizard of Oz.

I think these John Choo Wicked movies are going to have its own copyrights as well. That's correct. Yep. Um, the other horror movie, Dorothy the Haunting of Oz, follows a group of college basketball players on Halloween night who are attacked by terrifying versions of Dorothy and company. Uh-huh. As well as.

Neither of these sound great.

What? What? What? What are you talking about? They sound great to me. Okay. I'd watch them. But you don't like horror movies. They sound goofy. The first one might have potential.

You think? Well, there's a trailer of it out already. So maybe we'll watch the trailer and then you can make a decision. The second one, the Haunting of Oz is supposed to come out in. 2026. Yeah. So here's the thing. There, the college basketball players are attacked by Dorothy and company as well as serial killer clowns. Oh, what?

What? Don't ask questions that you don't.

I feel like a. Horror. What do I want to say? The Tin Man?

A scary Tin Man? Yeah. Scary? A scary. Scarecrow? There's been a scary Scarecrow. Has there? I'm sure. Win. Well, they've used, there's been a Scarecrow villain. Oh, there has been. And plus Iron Man. Same.

Oh, as the Tin Man?

Just, it's Iron Man instead of Tin Man. It's just different elements.

But he's not scary. He helps people, doesn't he? I don't know.

You think if that thing dropped down, you'd be like, oh, hey, it's friendly Iron Man. Yeah. If you took off his. If you, the first time you saw it, like you didn't know who it was. You wouldn't like freak out.

Did he take off his mask and it's Robert Downey Jr.? Yeah.

Because yes, friendly. All right. Sure thing. Sure thing.

There was a 23 year old man who went to Thanksgiving. Uh-uh. They have an early Thanksgiving. So he went to his girlfriend's house for Thanksgiving. The mom of the girlfriend said, oh, here have some of the leftovers. And the boyfriend said, oh, no, thank you. But she kept insisting and kept insisting until finally he said, no, I don't want the leftovers.

Right. He had to get stern. And then everybody got quiet and uncomfortable. Yeah. Weird. And so now he's asking the internet, what is the best, like way that I should have handled this? What's the best way to say no, thank you? The persistence of someone going like, no, no, have some. And, you know, maybe you're not hungry. Maybe you don't want to deal with it. And so you're just like, hey, you know what? I'm good. Thanks.

Or maybe you don't have the room for them or maybe you know that you're not going to eat them. And so you're like, I don't want them to go to waste. So no, thank you. Yeah.

No, that's okay. I think I'm good. Yeah. I'll be, I'll be not having that.

I think if worse comes to worse, you just say, oh, thank you. And then you throw them away. I guess free Tupperware.

Yeah. Unless they're like, Hey, can we get that Tupperware back? No, really, we need that Tupperware back. And you're like, Uh-oh. So I kind of messed up. That doesn't exist anymore.

You threw the Tupperware away. Why would you throw the Tupperware away? Yep. Don't throw the, what? That's a whole other issue, Josh. Why you throwing good Tupperware away?

Because I didn't want it. And so on the drive home, I stopped at a dumpster and I just yeeted it.

You can always use Tupperware. Are you crazy?

But what if I didn't really didn't want it?

If you really didn't want the leftovers, you were so mad about the leftovers.

You're like, Exactly. Get rid of this. I don't even want to look at it. Right. And I went, I'm out.

This food gave me a tummy ache. I can't even have it around.

I'm already ready for a nap. I don't need to eat more of this and then be more ready for a nap.

Then I guess if they want their Tupperware back, you're going to the store and buying them new Tupperware.

They shouldn't have given it to me in the first place. See the problem here. This guy's in trouble.

It's an endless cycle, isn't it?

It is. This family's got a lot of requirement.

How do you feel about Thanksgiving leftovers? Do you like them?

For a while. How? I mean, I would always do like a turkey sandwich for like a day or two, but then I'm kind of over it.

After a day or two? Yeah. So two days after you're fine? Yep. Yeah. I think that's about right.

And I don't- I'm like, I'm ready for something else. I just like the, the rolls, the cranberry sauce.

Yeah. The stuffing and the yams.

Right. And then you put it all on one roll. Yeah.

Yeah. Maybe some turkey in there.

You forgot about the gravy? No, I don't use it. The good part? No. How do you not eat the gravy? I can do without the gravy. No way. Yeah. It's the only like best part.

It's the best part. Leave it. I don't need it. You can have it all. Give me your yams though.

You can have all the yams. I want none of the yams. They're so good. Hmm. I'm good. I don't need them. You can have all the yams. All right. And the leftover yams.

I'll take your leftover. They came in. I'll take it all.

I don't want any of it. Give it all to me. See, that would be the thing. They're like, no, really take these yams. I'm like, I'm not going to eat these yams.

No, but take them. No. Take them. No. You have a radio alarm clock. Yes. That's on your nightstand. I do. And you had it set for to go off at 5.30. Not anymore. I know. What is up with that? I had a whole system in place because of that alarm clock.

And this morning, I don't know what time it went off, but I looked at the clock and I went, this is all wrong. Yeah. Why? Why did you change it? Why didn't you tell me?

Look, we can roll back to previous episodes of the show where we talked about the plan that I was going to change it. I gave you notice. I don't remember this notice. Yeah. We talked about how it was set at 5.20 and you went, no, it's not. And I went, yeah, it is. And you went, no. And then I checked and now it's set at 5.20. Like it's supposed to be.

I don't know what you think that radio alarm clock is doing, but it's not waking you up.

No, but isn't it nice?

No, it actually isn't. I don't enjoy it. I did have a plan with it. When you had it going off at 5.30, I would lay there for like the rest of the song. And then I'd get out of bed.

Oh, okay. I would give myself the permission to be like, okay,

let's wait until the end of this song. Now, if the song was close to ending, then I'm like, oh, good. That's not fair. Give yourself a whole other song. So I'd wait until the whole other song.

That's not fair.

But you can't do that at 5.20.

That's not because you listen to multiple songs or get up early.

No, you've messed up my whole system. I had a system and you blew it.

I'm going to change it to different times like every week. I'm going to be so mad.

I got to keep you on your toes. I don't want to be on my toes. I want to be laying on my bed with my eyes closed. Yeah, okay. Do that. Can't.

I don't have a problem. No, I know. I'm aware that alarm clock goes off and I immediately go, oh, yep, I'm awake. And then I look over at you and you're snoring away. Yeah. And I go, what is the point of this alarm clock?

Because it's doing nothing for you. Nothing does anything for me except you getting out of bed. And then I go, oh, it's time to get out of bed. Got it.

Except this. You're my alarm clock. I'm fully aware. So I try to do what I can to get you going in a nicer way than. Maybe discuss it with me first.

No way. Got to keep you on your toes.

I don't want to be on my toes. I just said. Yeah.

Well, keeping you on your toes. That's my goal. I'm going to push it way late one time just to see what happens. And then you're going to be in real trouble and put it at like 545 and you're going to go, what?

Why would you do that? What do you want me in real?

Test the rest of your systems. I don't want that. Got to keep you on your toes.

I'm going to throw that alarm clock out the window.

It's one of the two. What? What? Why? It's so cool and nice. And you get to wake up to the radio.

There's something I was going to say. Oh dang it. It's gone.

What if I change which station we wake up to? No, why would you? Do you know what it really does for me? What? I'll tell you, it does a very important thing for me. What? That puts my mind at ease every day.

Knowing that the radio is still on? Yep. That's part of your job.

If it turns on and I hear music, I immediately go, okay, good. Because I know I'm not walking into the place burning down. Right.

You're not walking into a problem. Yeah. So if it comes on and I hear everything working normally and I go, ugh.

So if it came on and it was silent, that would get you out of bed. If I heard it click and it was all static or I heard it click and it was nothing? Oh yeah. I'd be like, oh. And that would get you out of bed, huh? No, but it would make me go, oh no.

That it would make me think twice.

Yeah, yeah. I would be like, I'm going to have to get up and get moving now because there's problems.

What's the point that you hear me and that gets you out of bed?

Because I hear you get up, usually.

I get up, I brush my teeth, I wash my face, I get dressed. I'm aware of all that. Okay. Because you were snoring pretty heavy this morning and I was making louder and louder noises. Rude.

I was quiet at the first, but then it was getting a little bit late and so then I started making louder noises.

There will be times where you'll walk in and go, hey, can I make it up?

Yeah. Yeah. Just like the radio is nice for you. You're a great husband, spouse partner. Thank you and you're a great wife. There we were shopping last night and Emery says, oh, hey, I want to go look at some pants. I need some new pants. Yeah.

And as we're looking for pants, she sees all these cute sweaters and she goes, oh, I need some new sweaters too. And this is the part of the year where you go, cool, take a mental note of that. Sure. When she walks away, I snap a picture so I can remember. Yeah. But you're not getting pants. I'm not buying you pants today on November 24th. Yeah. Get out of town. Yeah. You're going to wait until Christmas to get those new pair of pants.

A month away. Yeah. You got plenty of pants. Yeah. Where are the pants you've got? Yeah.

You're getting those new pants at Christmas. Yeah. God's Day. Oh, you need new toothpaste? You're going to have to wait. Toothpaste. Yeah. Yeah. Everything from here on out that they ask for is a Christmas present and they have to wait. Uh-huh.

It doesn't matter what it is. Beck wanted some chips. I said, can I wrap them up and give me a Christmas present? Did you? No, I let them have them. But yesterday was the cutoff date.

Oh, now. From now forward. There's one month until Christmas from today moving forward.

You ask for it. Exactly. Yeah. It's a Christmas present.

So when she gets in the car and she's like, do you want a refreshment? Not Christmas is coming.

I'm going to use that. Well, that's different. No, it's not. Refreshments are different. Absolutely not. Because if I want a refreshment, I'm not waiting until Christmas.

Yes, you are. No. Don't get in the car with me then.

I won't. I'll drive my own car. That's the only way, Emery, and I get refreshments is if we drive ourselves. I know. Because you don't need to treat every time you go somewhere.

We deserve it.

Every time you get in the car.

Oh, treat. Anytime you're running errands. I'm running errands. I deserve a treat.

Everything I do to go in the car is an errand. Engage yourself with treat. I can't eat that many chicken sandwiches. Your treats are different than mine.

My treats are different than yours. Full of sugar. Mine are full of protein. Good job. That's better, isn't it? Yeah, fried protein. Fried. That's the problem. Although, here's the other problem is that Beck's birthday is on Saturday. We did buy him a birthday present already and we're going to a football game for his birthday. So I feel like he's covered.

Yeah, I agree. Like he'll get a dinner and we'll buy him dinner. I guess we'll buy you dinner for your birthday. Gotta eat. Yeah. But that's it. That's it. Everything else is Christmas. From here on out. You asked for it. You're waiting. You know where he's going to pick to eat. Buffalo Wildewee?

No. Oh. No, I'm saying when we're in Utah.

Oh. Yeah, raising canes.

Yeah. Get ready. More canes. More fried proteins.

I don't like canes. It's delicious. I just like the toast.

Okay, then just order the toast. Can I just have toast? I just want toast. Do you like the fries?

The fries are pretty good. I'm in there okay. I wish there was a better dipping sauce.

Maybe they have others. And the fact that you say cane sauce isn't delicious sauce, that probably riles more feathers than saying that you don't like canes in general.

Oh, is it like saying the Chick-fil-A sauce isn't that great?

Yeah, what are you talking about? Hot topic everything. Wow. Chick-fil-A sauce isn't that great. Because here's what you said. Polynesian sauce is better. That's what you said. You said it would be awesome if I could have a sweet and sour sauce instead of this.

Yeah, I like that better.

Yeah. Do you know the difference? No. Copious amounts of sugar.

Yeah, oh no, I know. Yeah, oh no, yeah, yeah. The cane sauce? Yeah. It's just fry sauce with some spices. Yeah. It's good. It's glorified fry sauce.

Yeah, it's delicious. It's so good. I don't know what's wrong with you. Something's wrong with your taste buds.

No, it's everybody else's taste buds. You're

right. It's a problem. Yeah, okay. All right, sure thing. Okay, so Stranger Things comes out tomorrow if you haven't heard. Season five, 6 p.m. is when it premieres. Are you sure it's not 7? Yeah, I'm sure. 6 p.m. Good one. Thank you. 8 Eastern 5 Pacific. Wind tomorrow? That is 6 o'clock tomorrow, yes, tomorrow.

I know I have a hair appointment tomorrow. I know. So you guys are going to have to wait.

Oh, tell that to the 16-year-old in the house. Good luck with that. I know. So Netflix will release tomorrow night, volume one of Stranger Things season five. The Duffer Brothers, the creators of Stranger Things, they have named four episodes that you should re-watch in preparation for the fifth and final season.

Hold up. Let me get some paper. Two of them from season two and two of them from season four. I think that's very interesting. That is very interesting.

So they say that before you watch volume one of Stranger Things season five, you should re-watch season two, episode four. Episode four. Which is called Will the Wise. Okay. And season two, episode six, The Spy. Okay. Got it. Both of those involving Will.

There's lots of theories about who's going to die.

Oh, it's going to be so crazy. It's going to be crazy. All right. The other two episodes. Season four, episode seven. Mask her at Hawkins Lab. And season four, episode nine, Piggyback.

They say that if you have time to revisit only one episode, you should choose season four, episode seven. Really? Uh-huh. Why? That Mask Her at Hawkins Lab is the number one episode they say before you watch season five, you should watch that episode.

What if you need to go back and watch all of the episodes?

You better hustle. Forgotten. There's four seasons. You better get busy.

I know we were going to do this a couple of weeks ago, remember? And I forgot. I didn't put it in the calendar.

There's YouTube recaps that people have put together. They're like, here's a quick recap. Serious? I mean, it's like 20 minutes, but it's not.

I got to do that because... So you need that? Yeah. I've forgotten everything that's happened. Okay.

Well, volume one arrives very, very soon. Episodes of the four seasons, if you want to watch all of them, it will take you 35 hours if you feel ambitious. That's nonstop, 35 hours. And you have about that. Just start now and don't stop until it comes out.

Hey, I'm so old, my brain just short circuits all the time. Okay,

well, I keep talking. Volume two of season five will drop on Christmas Day and the two hour series finale of Stranger Things will stream the evening of New Year's Eve and also simultaneously in select movie theaters. Really?

Mm-hmm. La di da, Stranger Things.

Kind of want to watch the... ...the theater release. Kind of want to watch it in the theater, the finale of the whole thing.

How long is the episode tomorrow?

Oh, it's like four episodes. It's four or five. Four or five that come out tomorrow. Oh, no. It's part... Volume one is multiple episodes.

You guys have to wait for me, but if by the time you wait for me, it's going to be so late by the time we go to bed and I have things to do to get ready for Thanksgiving. This is a terrible idea for them to release this today. I don't know what to tell you.

Tomorrow. Yeah, so season five part one will be four episodes and then on Christmas Day, there's three more episodes and then the finale on New Year's Eve.

Okay. All right. I do know that we have a daughter in our house who is a huge Stranger Things fan. Yep. And she has been counting down the days for this.

She'll be counting down the hours. She thinks she's going to like watch it all day tomorrow, but she doesn't know that it comes out at six. So she's going to be checking Netflix over and over and over and over and be like, it's not out yet.

Yeah, she's going to be driving us crazy in text messages.

Yep. Six PM tomorrow. What do you think is going to happen? More Stranger Things. That's what's going to happen. I'm excited for it. I think it's going to be great. I've been waiting with anticipation.

Baited breath. Yes. As they say. Yeah.

I've been eagerly anticipating it as well. I haven't. I just haven't been vocally like, I can't wait. Right.

I like it. I just don't love it.

I'm going to tell you what I'm really excited about. What? In season five, the amount of attention they've given to radio. And I'm very curious to see. You are excited about that. I love what they're doing with radio.

And I'm only sad that it isn't like you can go to every store and buy Classy 97 gear because you can go and buy WSQK the Squawk. I'm really curious to see what they do with that. I think that's interesting. The Squawk of Hawkins. You do love radio. I do. And the amount of really cool stuff, t-shirts, jackets, key chains, merch, they have put out so much stuff. So much stuff. The van.

I know every time we go somewhere and they have stranger things merch, you're like, look at all this radio stuff. It's radio stuff.

And I'm like, get some and you go, no. It's not even a real thing. That's the frustrating part is that it's all for a show. But it's such cool radio stuff. It's such cool radio merch that I'm like, I want all of this for wake up Classy 97 and then the station and the show. I want people to be like, yeah, I wear my Classy 97 cool jacket.

It looks like Classy 97 merch.

Cool. It's so cool. They've done a crazy good job of promoting a fake radio station. Radio needs to take note at how cool stranger things has made radio. It's so cool. WSQK, the Squawk of Hawkins.

We have to do radio like that.

No. I mean, look, it's the 80s, right? So that's how it was in the 80s. And we're back. That was 90s radio. Yeah, when they started doing 100 different voices and all that stuff. That was 90s radio.

Yeah, yeah. 80s radio was like, it was kind of a cash laid back. Hey, you're in here rocking. I'm going to put another vinyl for you.

It was more like that speed. So that's what I expect to see is some, if there's any radio personality that's working at WSQ, OK, the squawk, it'll be we'll be right back with more after this wonderful message from our sponsors. It'll be very like that.

Very chill. Yeah, it's a different kind of a vibe. And then they'll be like, here's more doobie brothers. And it'll be like, oh, OK, I got it. All right, cool. Very cool. Squawk.

I like it when you geek out about radio.

It's so fun. It's so fun. I can't wait to see it. I just, I really am excited about the amount of radio potential that's happening. So anyway, yeah. Well, it's something I've been in love with for a long time. It's cute. All right.

Anyway, good job, Stranger Things, making radio so cool. If I had all the monies, I would buy all the merch. I don't know what I'd do with it after that. I'd have like a big display of WSQK, the squawk of Huckins merch. What am I going to do with all that?

Yeah, fake radio station. I just want all that stuff for us. That's what I want. I want people to be like, no, I listen to Wake Up Class 97 and I got the bobbleheads. Look at them. I'm on bobbleheads. I know. How cool, right? Yeah, that would be cool. It'd be great. Let's get some bobbleheads. Little dash-mounted ones, like the the heads.

Yeah, like the dog. Yeah.

Or the Luau dancer. We could be on dashboards driving around with folks. Yeah, the Luau dancer. Yeah. That'd be cool.

Let's talk about pie. Okay. Rate these. Ready?

You want me to rate pie? Yep.

What a great day.

Pumpkin, pecan, apple, chocolate. And awesome. Put them in the order. Oh, what are they?

Pumpkin, pecan, apple, chocolate.

Pecan's bottom, then apple. Then pumpkin and chocolate are tied.

Tied for first.

They're very good. I like chocolate pudding pie.

Do you like the chocolate? Okay, I was talking to a co-worker yesterday because she is tasked with bringing pies to her family Thanksgiving. And she wanted to try a delicious new chocolate ganache pie. And her husband said, no.

Oh, my ganache, he did. Stop. Stop. No, he didn't.

He said, no. I just want the chocolate pudding. I want the chocolate pudding, the classic chocolate pudding. And she's kind of in a war with him because she went, I want to try a fancy chocolate pie. Oh, my ganache. She cannot. Just keep it simple. Let's just keep it cool with the chocolate pudding. And she's going to make both and do a taste test.

I'm going to tell you, I'm on team pudding. Why? Settle down. And I'll tell you why. Tell me. Because the ganache is not actually a pie. Why? It's a tart.

Oh, my. Oh, my.

Can't eat that, then. Can you? And it's also the texture's all wrong.

You didn't even try it. Look at it.

I am. It's not pudding.

No, but look at it. Doesn't it look good?

Not really, actually. What? No. I think it does. You're looking at the chocolate ganache pie. Yeah. Tart, by the way. Tart. And then now look at chocolate pudding pie. That's what I'm talking about.

Okay, hold on. Look at it. I'm not. I know what it looks like.

Not the mousse one. I don't want that mousse looking one. A mousse? Yeah, there's like a light, like they've mixed the chocolate with a whip. Okay. And they've made a mousse out of it. I don't want that. I just looked at... I want straight up chocolate pudding in a crust with whipped cream on it.

Well, you and her husband can go, hey, have your chocolate pudding pie together. She and I will have the chocolate ganache. Ganache. Ganache. Listen, I looked up the difference between a tart and a pie.

Yeah, they're different. A tart is an open-faced pastry. It sounds like a pie so far.

Nope. With a shallow straight-sided pan and a firm crumbly short crust. That's right. It sounds like a pie. A pie typically has a deeper sloping-sided pan and a flaky crust. Bingo. Tarts are open-faced with a higher crust to feeling rich. That's right. While pies have a top crust and a larger volume of filling. 100%.

Totally different. Do you understand that? Listen to what you just said. I know what I just said. That means the tart's skinny, thin, firm, the pie is a bowl of pudding with a crust. And that's what I want.

And you probably don't even eat the crust.

If it's a graham cracker crust, I will. You just scrape out the pudding. I like that graham cracker crust a whole lot.

Just make pudding. Put it in a bowl. You're done. Sprinkle graham crackers on top of it.

I probably need to get checked for like diabetes. And I'll tell you why. As a kid, I used to get that little thing of frosting. You know? The little Pillsbury frosting, chocolate frosting. And a pack of graham crackers. This is why I don't have a sweet tooth anymore. I overdid it. And I would eat that.

Everybody did that. A lot. Everybody did that. Often.

That's why I don't want ganache. Because ganache is like that tub of frosting. Did you do that every day? Not every day, but often enough that I don't want it ever again. And now I just like chocolate pudding instead. You know how good chocolate pudding is?

I mean, it's okay. In a pie with a graham cracker crust and whipped cream on top. So good. That's your top pie, really. It's right there with pumpkin. What's your favorite pumpkin pie? What? What?

Like, I make a pretty good pumpkin pie. Yeah. Costco makes a pretty good pumpkin pie. We've had lots of good pumpkin pies over there. What's been your favorite?

The pumpkin pie.

I don't have a favorite. You don't have a preference? No. They all muddle together. Sure. Okay. I can't believe you put pecan on the bottom.

Yeah, worst pie. It's a pie of nuts. Delicious. No, it's not.

Let's talk about some Thanksgiving fails. Did you ever have a Thanksgiving fail?

A near fail. Uh-oh. So, you ever have a deep fried turkey? Yeah.

Well, no, no.

But you're aware of it? Yes. So, the way the process works is you have... These are always the things that give me fail. This is a dangerous thing. You have a single propane burner on like a low base, just a few inches off the ground. Then you have a big stock pot. And what you're supposed to do is put the turkey in the pot and then you put water in the pot until it covers the turkey. Then you take the turkey out and then you make a note of the water level dump the water out, add that much oil and then you heat that oil. Then once you're ready with your turkey, you lower your turkey into that hot oil and it will cover the turkey because you've pre-measured. That's the safe way to do the fried turkey thing. Okay. I believe that was the process that was followed. I'm pretty confident that the safety process was followed. But I think there's also something about the speed in which you add the turkey to the oil that's really important.

I can't remember if it's go fast or go slow. But that oil's hot and that turkey is not. And if you put cold things in hot oil, what happens?

Bubbles happen. The oil goes, I'm excited about all this cold stuff and I get to warm up. It's what the oil says. And as you put the turkey in that oil gets closer to the top and closer to the top. Well, if the oil spills over and then you have fire and hot oil, you got yourself a recipe for disaster.

We got ourselves a situation.

So there was a near fiery situation on a back porch when Thanksgiving. It was okay. Nothing bad happened. The potential for bad to happen was certainly there. But everything was okay.

How was the turkey? I don't remember. Did it get cooked? I'm sure.

But I don't remember how it turned out. I don't remember.

I don't have any recollection of any turkey or Thanksgiving fails. The only thing that comes a little bit close is that my brother-in-law had bought a new smoker. And he was going to smoke a turkey that year.

Okay. And it took forever and he hadn't used the smoker before so he didn't know how long it was going to take. I believe this is what happened. Again, like it must not have been that big of a fail because I'm

like, I don't really have a lot of recollection of it. Right, you don't remember it. It's like, yeah. We never had turkey that year or something. Right. Like I don't...

Even the bad situations you make do when you go, ah, it's still a pretty good day.

I mean, when the turkey, when the fried turkey thing happened, that was like a big deal. My dad was very excited about frying up the turkey. It was a new thing at the time. I mean, I was still living at home. This was in high school. This was before I'd moved out. It was a while ago. This was new.

Frying a turkey was brand new ideas. Did you help him with it? I was out there on the patio. Did you have to hold the light? No, we had a back porch light. I know. It was a... But also, I think you start cooking the turkey earlier in the day.

Oh, Josh, I know. It was a joke about helping your dad with a car and you have to hold the light. You don't get it. You're right.

It takes approximately three to four minutes per pound to deep fry a turkey.

Three to four minutes per pound? That's no time.

So a 10 to 12 pound turkey would take 35 to 45 minutes.

That takes no time at all.

And then you have to let it rest for 10 to 20 minutes before you carve it so the juices could settle, it says. Gross. It's not gross? Look, if you're going to do the deep fry thing, just be very careful.

There was one year my mom was very, very sick on Thanksgiving and I feel like she kind of rallied herself together and still made it happen, but we were all a little bit nervous about eating the food that year because we were like, mom wasn't feeling her best. Oh, okay. And then there was a year that she tried, she wanted to try a bunch of new stuff, so she tried a new stuffing recipe.

Look, I'm going to tell you, if you're going to try a new recipe, when you're having people over is always the best time to do it.

And only make it.

Don't do a test run beforehand. Don't pre-cook just, I got this new recipe, I'm making it today.

That's what I always do. And guess what? I show up with it and then it never gets eaten. I'm the type of person if you want me to bring a dish that doesn't get touched, I'm your gal. And that's the saddest part about it, is because it's usually pretty good, it's not like I'm a bad cook. Why doesn't anybody want my stuff?

Maybe you make gross stuff. I don't think it is. Is it yams?

No. Like one time I made a, I made a pumpkin cheesecake once that nobody ate. I don't remember that. Oh, I made a peach pie one year that your grandma was like, this is good.

Yeah. You got an A plus on that pie.

I know I did. That was like the best day ever. High praise. I've never made that pie since.

Have you made a pie since?

Yeah, I make, I, yeah. You sure? Yes.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh my gnaw, settle down. That's three times. Oh, I know. I'm keeping track.

We all are, dear. We are spending our Christmas activities with my family after the holidays, because it is the only time that we could get together. We decided.

So like clear in January, right? It's a little ways after Christmas.

Yeah. I mean, it's like the weekend following it.

It'll be okay. No, I know. I'm just, I'm just clarifying.

We decided to do pajamas and pancakes. Well, my sister decided that. Your sister decided. And I think it sounds fun. Okay.

And since she, Do you want to know what, you already know my gripe?

Yeah. I already know your gripe. It's breakfast for dinner. Here's my gripe, because we want to do a contest for our pajamas. Cutest, silliest. Who does? My sister and I. Okay. Okay.

And you are like, let's go. I'm poo-poo on the idea.

You're poo-poo on all of my ideas. No, I'm not. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are.

It's a subjective contest.

So I'm not into that. I know you're not. You, before we decided we wanted to do a contest, said let's go in matching pajamas.

And I said, great idea. Yeah. I, my idea, and I'm spoiling a secret. Don't spoil it.

Because I showed you this, I sent you this, and I'm trying not to be cranky that you went, my idea, is I sent you this idea in a text that day. You did. As we were talking about.

Don't be cranky about it.

It was your idea. So I said, this would be hilarious, but here are the matching pajamas I think we should wear. That was what I said. And you went, no, go back to the original idea. That's what you have to wear. Yeah. And I said, fine, I'll wear that, but I'm wearing these other ones as well. Because I'm not going to hang out in that other thing all night. And you have taken issue with me not wanting to hang out in that all night. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it's funny. I know it is, but I'm going to hang out in it all night. I mean, why?

It's uncomfortable. You can't really talk about it without talking about it. I know. So nobody knows what we're talking about.

Yeah. Just imagine a ridiculous pajama. It doesn't matter. Whatever you want to imagine in your head. And then imagine having to spend the whole night in it with your family doing games and activities. Yeah, no.

No. I kind of forgot that we played a lot of games. Yeah. I'm not going to be rocking that all night. But that's why it's so funny.

It's funny to walk in and get a reaction and then be like, alright, now I'm going to go put on my real pajamas.

No, it's even funnier if you rock it all day. No. Games, dinner and then people go, you're really not going to take that off, huh? And you go, nope. This is what I'm wearing all day. You're so funny to me because sometimes you wear uncomfortable things for the laugh and you'll wear it the whole time. Yeah.

If it's summer and it's tiny shorts. I'm fine with showing some thigh. I don't mind that. It's okay. So what's wrong with this? It's not short shorts. And it's not summer. I'm on outside showing off some thigh.

We're not going to be outside.

We're going to be cozy warm inside. Yeah. I'm not rocking that all day. For the laugh. But then I started shopping around and it's expensive. I know. And then you went, you're not going to have both. It's way too much money.

It is way too much money to have both. And the joke. So you have to have the joke. Always go for the joke.

Or. Or. I could go for the pajamas that I would wear more than once. They weren't just for a joke.

That's true. That's true. You'll get more use out of the ones that you'll wear.

I like it for the goof. I like the joke. I think the joke is funny. I want to see if I can find the joke for less money. Okay.

We probably could. Settle down. You got way too excited. I'm still all in on the joke. If we go thrift shopping, I bet we could find it.

I don't know. I doubt it. I doubt you're going to find it at a thrift shop.

Here's what we do. Here's what we actually really need to do. This is a total separate joke. What we really honestly need to do is go to my mom's house before Christmas. We're not grabbing. Get some of her night gowns.

No way. Why would we all do that? Everybody? Yes.

That's a funny joke. I know. That have to be well prepared. I think she has. She probably has some for all of us. How many? I'm sure she has some for all of us. That's a nice house coat.

Yeah, I bet it is. Where did you find that? I have one just like that. Oh, do you? Yeah. I'm going to have to sneak it in my mom's house. This can be done. I know it can. Talk to your sister about it. All right, I will. Game on.

That's a totally different joke. It is. My joke. Equally as funny. I want to do the joke. All right. But I also want to be comfortable for the rest of the night.

All right. That's my conundrum. And I'm already having to eat breakfast for dinner.

Oh, no. I'm not excited about. I'm not excited about that.

I am. Because it's delicious. Why can't you just pretend that it's breakfast time? It's not. But why can't you?

And it's also going to be like four in the afternoon.

I know. So how about at three fifty, you take a little like snooze. That's not how it works. Oh, good night. Sleep. And then you pretend that it's morning.

Nope. I have breakfast rules. I know you do. And that is way too late for breakfast.

It's never too late for breakfast.

I don't get breakfast for dinner.

I know you don't. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. I'm sorry. You're just going to have to deal with it. Bring your pack of lunch.

I guess I'm going to pack a dinner is what I'm going to pack. I'm going to heat up a whole dinner. And because of that, that kind of looks good. No, go eat your breakfast.

No one's going to say that because we all like breakfast for dinner. You don't know what I'm making. It doesn't matter. Breakfast for dinner will win every time.

No way. You guys are crazy. Let's do breakfast for dinner. What is it? Tipsy-turvy upside down Z-Day? What are we doing? 97 Angels with Mullenelli's Jewelers to Sport the Salvation Army is back. And we know that sometimes we take for granted all the joys of Christmas and how special Christmas can be. But for some, making that magic and doing all of the Christmas things is a lot harder than one might think. And that's why Classy 97 and Mullenelli's Jewelers believe it is important to do our part in the community to make Christmas special for the less fortunate children of East Idaho.

That's right. We have a link in our Classy 97 app. It's the 97 Angels link and you can check on that and you can find a Salvation Army Angel Tree location near you. You can go shop at that tree. You can adopt an angel or two.

Go shopping for your angel and drop off your new unwrapped gifts at the Salvation Army before December 12th to help make a very special Christmas morning for families in need.

Yeah, all the details are in the app. Just tap that 97 Angels link and you can find it there. Full list of all the locations that the Salvation Army has provided for us in Idaho Falls and Ammon and Rexburg and Pocatello and Chubbock where you can go and grab yourself a tag and then do your shopping and drop off those new unwrapped gifts to help Christmas happen for less fortunate children in East Idaho. It's all in the Classy 97 app and thanks to Mullen and Elly's Jewelers for helping us out again this year with 97 Angels. Would you rather this or that?

Would you rather peel 10 pounds of potatoes or wash every dish by hand? I'm going to peel them taters. I knew you were going to say that.

You hate washing dishes. I hate washing dishes by hand.

I hate it. I'll wash the dishes. I don't mind. I'm peeling 10 pounds of potatoes. How much space do I have?

Answer my question. What? Am I peeling 10 pounds? Yeah. That's not that many potatoes.

It's not that many potatoes. Yeah, 10 pounds. I'm definitely peeling 10 pounds of potatoes. How many dishes do I have? All of them. How many people are at the party? 12. Oh, that's not that bad.

How much? But you can't wash anything until after pie. Fine. Can't wash cooking dishes. Can't wash eating dishes. Can't watch pie dishes. Fine. All the dishes. Okay.

I actually really don't mind washing dishes. I think it's kind of relaxing. No, it's not. It is. If you have, like, I need a big sink if I have a... You have our sink. Okay, fine. I like our sink. And then if I have enough counter space to lay it all out to dry.

Someone's building a puzzle on the kitchen table. Fine.

It doesn't affect my... Cooking dishes. Counter space. Eating dishes. Dessert dishes. Only the counter space and sink we have available.

Fine. Honestly. But great. I don't mind. I really don't. Especially I can put on a show or I can listen to a podcast.

You have to talk to people. Fine.

I'll do that too. It's not a big deal. I'd rather wash dishes than...

Peel 10 pounds of potatoes.

That's not that big of a deal. I would rather wash dishes than clean the bathroom or mop the floors. I hate those two chores. No way. But I don't mind dishes.

I will mop a floor before I wash a dish. You should probably mop our floor. Yeah. What's going on with the front entryway?

I don't know. Fix it. What happened? I don't know. It's sticky. I don't know why. I don't know why either. It's driving me crazy. Then mop it. I can't. I'm peeling these potatoes. Busy. Fix the problem.

What you rather this or that.

Who are you at the Thanksgiving dinner table?

I guess I don't know what that means.

Let me explain a little bit further. Are you the... I've got all of my food on my plate, but none of it's touching. Ah. I've got all of my food on my plate, but I'm just quietly eating my food. Are you the... Football's on. I'm watching football. Leave me alone. I'm watching football. Are you the... I'm taking a nap. Leave me alone. Wake me up when dinner's ready. What person are you?

I'm the guy who... I'm in the kitchen, for sure. Wandering sometimes. Watching timers. Figuring out what has to be done. Stuff like that. Pay no attention to the leaf blower happening outside. It's very loud. I don't know if it's getting picked up, but it is loud. It is loud. It's very loud.

It's time to be doing that, bud. Yeah. I mean, you know, let's get rid of the leaves. It's 9.40. Time to do job. That's fine. Listen. It's okay. He's got a job to do. He's doing his thing. It happens to be right now. So, that's okay. So, I'm... as I was saying, though, I'm wandering around. I'm snacking probably. I'm eating olives and deviled eggs and those kinds of things. And then once somebody goes, all right, dinner's ready. And I go like, let's go.

Let's get some food. And then I don't mind if my food touches. I'm not real worried about it.

Where you sitting? Are you sitting at the kids' table? You're sitting at the adult table.

I'm gonna sit at the adult table because I'm an adult now.

Oh, I don't. I always sit at the kids' table. The adults are no fun.

Okay. But I also, as I was saying about my food touching, there are certain foods I don't want to touch other foods. So, I'll make sure they're strategically placed. But like, once I start putting gravy on it, it's all gonna taste like gravy.

What foods don't you want touching other foods?

I don't like salad to touch gravy. Okay. I don't want gravy on my salad. Yeah. Right? So, if I have any kind of salads, pasta salad, if the gravy touches that, bad times. Pasta salad at Thanksgiving? I'm just saying, whatever there is. I just, you never know. And yeah, your mom brought the pasta salad. So, yeah, it'll be there.

She did? She always brings like a Jell-O salad.

No, and gravy can't touch Jell-O either.

What about a a Waldorf salad? A what now? A Waldorf? What's that one? It's apples. I didn't get that one. What about the carrot raisin salad? I also didn't get that one. What about the what's the other one that people make?

Green bean casserole.

I love green bean casserole. There's several I skip over. You know that people are trying to eliminate green bean salad? Not green bean salad. Green bean casserole? Yeah. Like 40% of people want to ban it from things. You can't ban something from Thanksgiving.

No, if somebody wants to bring it, that's fine. I'm just not going to eat it.

I like green beans.

There's always a ton of it left and it gets watery.

It does. It's not great after day one.

And I don't even have to eat it. I just look at it and go, oh, glad I didn't eat that.

No, it's so good. So way.

Nope. Who's mad at the French's fried onions company? Why? Because why would you eliminate the one meal they get? Yeah, I'm right. Like it's not green beans fault. Green beans a fine side. It's because somebody put mushrooms and fried onions on it. I know. And elevated the green beans.

Yeah, green beans are mad. They're like, we can stand on our own. We don't need help. Oh, oh, oh.

There you go. Yeah. Okay, so you're the help in the kitchen guy.

Snacking in the kitchen. I'm not helping. I'm in the way.

Yeah, you are in the way. I remember my mom cooking Thanksgiving once and she was a little bit frazzled. And then you were like, I got to make my whipped cream.

Do you have a bowl? And she was like, what are you getting out of here? Yeah. Yep. I'm going to make real whipped cream. Wasn't even time for pie yet.

Oh, it was time for me to make whipped cream right now. I need a bowl.

Everybody stop. Everything you're doing and find Josh a bowl.

That's right. Real whipped cream. Not that canned stuff. Not cool whip. No. The real deal. We know, Josh. We know. And it's so good. Anyway, what are you? Kids table? Food touching?

Football watching? I'm not really helpful. I'm just kind of also just like chit-chatting. Eating some relish tray.

Yeah, I like a good relish tray.

And then yeah, when it's time to eat, I'm like, yeah, I'm going to be over here at the kids table because they're more fun. I'll probably spill my drink just like they do. That's where I belong. I belong at the kids table.

Where's the leaf blower guy going to go? I don't know. Hopefully, away.

All right.

Before we go, I do want to talk a little bit about our fantasy football league that we have going on here at the office. I am in two leagues. I am in family league and then the work league. In my family league, I have officially been eliminated from playoff contention.

Oh, no.

Yeah. Only the top four teams go to the playoffs and I have been eliminated from the playoff contention. So I will not be winning in that league, which I'm not surprised. My record is four and eight. It's very bad.

It's very bad over there. However, let's talk about the standings of our work league. Sure. Because you won this week. I did. I won this week and here's the situation. Maddie, our son, and Kevin, our boss have been eliminated from playoff contention.

Oh, too bad. Peaches. Too bad for Kevin who stole my quarterback. It's fine. I'm not better. Yeah, you are.

No. Peaches, who happens to be the commissioner of the league, weird how he has clinched the number one seed. Weird.

Weird. Weird. I'm tied for number third.

You're tied for third, but here's something interesting. Are you looking at the standings? Yeah. Because here's what you've got going on. You've got Peaches and Star in first and second. Solid records, right?

Eight and four for Star. Like, Peaches has only lost twice and I was one of those that he lost to me once. Which was great. Felt good about that. So, he's got a 10 and 2 record.

He's very far ahead. Two through six between, I mean everybody else basically, those eight people, it's a toss up as to who's going to make it into the playoffs. Because if you win this week and Star loses, you will have the same record as second.

Do you see what I'm saying? I see what you're saying. Right? So, there's a lot going on in the playoff chase in our work league right now. I have a six and six record, so if I win and you lose, we both have a seven and five.

But look at our scores. So, you see where it says PF, that's points four? You have 1300 points. I'm already beating you at 1400 points. Hey. So, I think that means if I beat you this week, I get your spot in the playoffs. You're not going to beat me this week. So, here's our final week of fantasy football. Next week, this week right here, starts on Thursday, Thanksgiving, three games is the final week of fantasy football regular season. Then it goes into the playoffs and you and I are playing each other. Good luck. Good luck.

That's all you have to say. That's all I have to say. All you have to say is, good luck. Yeah. Wow.

That's not very raccoon of you.

It's fine. What did I tell you the other day? I said you should not play fantasy.

Oh, no. This is my last season. I'm retiring after this season. You need to because it makes you cranky. You're not having any fun. No. You're not any fun to play with. Did you hear my record in the other league? Four and eight.

It's supposed to be fun. It wasn't. And you get so cranky about it. Don't play. It wasn't fun. You're done. You're done with fantasy.

I'm being forced into retirement.

Yeah. You're fired.

I'm fired from fantasy football. Yes. Okay. That's fine. I'll be fired from fantasy football, I guess. Good luck to you as well. We're playing each other the final week. We'll see how it goes. Good luck to you. Good luck to you.

Good luck to you. All right. That's going to do it for the show.

Have a great rest of your day. Have a great Tuesday. See you tomorrow.
